"Walking on two legs may explain human musicality and language (Örebro University, 10 April 2025). A Darwinist with a face apparently suffering from years of Darwine inebriation speculates on the origin of Beethoven, John Williams and Shakespeare:
"The fact that humans walk on two legs is likely the reason we have developed our rhythmic, musical, and linguistic abilities, new research by physician and researcher Matz Larsson shows. “This also explains why running and going for walks promote creativity,” he says."
